First drive: Gorgeous 18-inch alloys

The multispoke wheels are gorgeous. Size is huge, 18-inch but thanks to a not too extreme profile, /45, ride is firm. Behind the serious looking wheels hide big brakes. Up front 325 mm ventilated discs and pin slider calipers. Brakes rear are 276 ventilated discs and again pin slider calipers. ABS of course.

It is easy to find the very right pressure without using the ABS-system. And on public road we had no problems with too hot, fading brakes. It might be different on the tracks – the very grippy rubber might be hot stuff to the brakes.
